Cedar Avenue survey - 34th and 40th streets

We are working to make it safer and to modernize travel on Cedar Avenue (County Road 152) between Lake and 42nd streets in South Minneapolis, and plan to reconstruct the road in 2028-2029. Share your thoughts on options for improvements at the intersections of 34th and 40th streets.

34th Street intersection

We are considering two options for the 34th Street intersection: a traffic signal at a standard intersection and a flashing beacon at a right-in/right-out access intersection.

Option 1: Traffic signal at standard intersection

This rendering shows the intersection of Cedar Avenue and 34th Street with a traditional traffic signal at a standard 4-way intersection with left turn lanes for both directions of travel on Cedar Avenue.

All directions of travel are open to vehicles
32 potential crash points
Includes left turn lanes instead of medians
People crossing wait for traffic signal to change

Option 2: Flashing beacon at right-in/right-out access intersection

This rendering shows the intersection of Cedar Avenue and 34th Street with a right-out access intersection and a pedestrian flashing beacon above the intersection. Pedestrians are able to cross Cedar Avenue but cars cannot. Cars are prevented by a median from turning left onto Cedar Avenue.

Vehicles can only make right turns to and from 34th Street
8 potential crash points
Includes medians for safety for those walking, rolling, and driving
People crossing activate the flashing beacon and can immediately cross Cedar Avenue

Which option do you prefer?

Option 1: Traffic signal at standard intersection

Option 2: Flashing beacon at right-in/right-out access intersection

40th Street intersection

We are considering two options for the 40th Street intersection: a traffic signal at a reduced access intersection and a flashing beacon at a right-out access intersection.

Option 1: Traffic signal at reduced access intersection

This rendering shows the intersection of Cedar Avenue and 40th Street with a traditional traffic signal at a reduced access intersection. It features a two-way bike path on the south side of the intersection and center medians that allow pedestrians and bikers to cross the street but that prevent cars from crossing Cedar Avenue and turning right onto Cedar Avenue.

Vehicles can only make right turns from 40th Street
Includes medians for safety for those walking, rolling, and driving
2 crash points
People crossing Cedar Avenue wait for the traffic signal to change

Option 2: Flashing beacon at right-out access intersection

This rendering shows the intersection of Cedar Avenue and 40th Street with pedestrian flashing beacons and one way bike lanes on wither side of 40th Street. Center medians allow bikers and pedestrians to cross Cedar Avenue, but cars are prevented from crossing Cedar Avenue and turn left on Cedar Avenue.

Vehicles can only make right turns from 40th Street
Includes median for safety for those walking, rolling, and biking
2 crash points
People activate flashing beacon to immediately cross Cedar Avenue

Which option do you prefer?

Option 1: Traffic signal at reduced access intersection

Option 2: flashing beacon at right-out access intersection

Do you have any further comments on the proposed design for Cedar Avenue from Lake Street to 42nd Street?
